Came here for the gluten free fried chicken (not on the menu but they do offer it). It did not disappoint! Our waitress Elaine was great as well. I was not a fan of the potatoes but I filled up in chicken no problem.

The theming is absolutely adorable and not like anything you find normally. We enjoy all of the old timey decorations that are true to the 50's. The waitresses and waiters are all so fun, they stick to the theme of rude service, getting onto kids, and making the kids do the work. We have been a few times, and they always yell at the kids to set the table, keep their elbows off the table, etc. We return here often because my kids seem to like being yelled at and made to set the table- all things they don't enjoy at home. The food is always average. It is good but nothing crazy good. This last time I got the sampler and the meat loaf was the only thing I didn't care for, the pot roast and friend chicken were both good. We ordered an appetizer of onion rings that were very yummy, and came with a really delicious horseradish dip that really paired with it well. Overall, our food was good, but nothing that jumps out at you. It is the service, and the theming we generally go for!

Had a family outing at PT 50s Cafe. Our server, Patty was great and made our dining experience so enjoyable. She was a hit with our nephew Anthony and his sister Penny! All family members enjoyed our meal but especially Patty!! Thanks

Have been bere many times, but this time they have outdone themselves in all area. The food was excellent, especially, the prok chop and fried chicken. And our cousin Mary has been a great host setting up this lunch to be wonderful. Thank you.

This is a great place to eat! It’s a little pricey but the ambiance is very interesting and the food feels like it’s homemade, you feel like you travel in time! The servers are very funny and kind, they play their characters very well! I’ll be back!
